Imagine a game where the players play for the love of the game, not the money. A game where multi-million dollar contracts are unknown. A game where everyone gets to play. Imagine a game just like it was with the youthful innocence of a child. This, my friends, is Backyard Baseball. Backyard Baseballtakes you back to when you were a kid, when baseball was a game, and the team was hastily put together among the kids in the neighborhood.

Playing for Real

Humongous Entertainment reached back into the past and captured all those childhood memories of baseball and digitally assembled them into this game. All the details that make the memories real are here - from the kids taunting the pitcher to the child with the asthma inhaler. Do you remember picking teams, taking turns picking from the best players until only the bad players were left? Do you remember picking someone's little brother because his big brother was a good player? It's all here. Nothing was left out.

Players choose from fields such as the sandlot, the urban parking lot, and the rich kid's backyard. Pitchers throw crazy pitches such as the 'Elevator' and the 'Crazy Ball.' Background ambient noises and the taunting by the opposing team add to the rich atmosphere that you can almost smell.

Everything about this game is charming and cute.

Swing and Miss

Gameplay includes all the necessary elements. Pitchers choose the pitch as well as the placement. Hitters swing at the ball and can even see the strike zone. Fielding is accomplished by clicking where you want the ball thrown, and running is as simple as clicking in the direction you want the runner to advance. Everything is here, and everything is easy enough for kids. The pace is a little slow, but not too fast for children. Each batter has a distinct personality - from the boy who hops to the plate to the girl who says 'my game is really tennis, anyway' when she strikes out. I was extremely impressed with all the details of each character.

I have a few complaints about the game. This game doesn't install any files to the hard disk - everything is run from the CD. For some reason, each swing of the bat causes the CD to be read. This makes the animation choppy and the mouse click to hit feels sluggish and unresponsive. While the game is playable with this problem, it makes hitting the ball a little difficult. Instead of getting better the more balls I hit, I never really improved. I think this is because I never was able to time when I hit the mouse button and the player started their swing. That little delay when it read from the CD just ruins the hand/eye coordination.

I tried copying the entire 270MB of CD data to the hard disk to see if that improved performance (note: this is not an option in the install menu, I just copied it by dragging the contents of the CD into a new folder on my hard disk.) It did speed up the game somewhat, but the batting problem didn't improve significantly.

I also encountered one bug: I hit a ball that bounced infield, then over the fence for what should have been a double. The announcer even stated this was a double, but the runner advanced only to first.

Worthy of Praise

This game is terrific and has all the elements of a Gold Medal winner. But I can't do it. The delay in clicking the mouse and the batter swinging the ball just ruins it for me. I still like the game a lot and highly recommend it, but a Gold Medal is for games without such evident flaws. I guess I'm mad because this should have been corrected. Even a little play testing would have shown that this was a problem. Instead, we are left with what could have been a 'Game of the Year,' but instead fails to deliver on one very important game element.

This is still an outstanding game and I recommend it strongly.

Cascadianranger2019-02-246 points

For those wondering what to do after downloading, extract the files anyhwere into your C drive (even their own folder) and then add the files through ScummVM and use that to play

Introduction: Piano Pi - Play a Duet With Your Pi!

In this tutorial you will learn a simple way to program your Pi using Sonic Pi to create a piano accompaniment.

Remember the piano scene in the move Big? You will be programming the bass part of the song they play 'Heart and Soul'.

You will need:

Monitor, keyboard and mouse.

Speakers

Piano

Teacher Notes

Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.

Step 1: Open Sonic Pi on Jessie Raspbian

Pi comes pre-installed with the NOOBS card.

Navigate to Menu >> Programming >> Sonic Pi

Step 2: Getting Familiar With Sonic Pi

If this is your first time using Sonic Pi, click the 'Help' button and walk through the first couple lessons to get familiar with the platform.

I went ahead and changed the editor to a dark screen by clicking on the 'Prefs' button. You may also adjust the volume there.

At the bottom of the editor you will see 'Buffer0' - 'Buffer9'. Here you can switch between code windows to create unique sounds and music for each Buffer. Find an empty Buffer to begin this project.

Step 3: Midi Numbers

Sonic Pi uses the Midi number system where each key on the piano has a number.

Middle C is 60. To begin the song, C is played twice. If you don't want notes to be played at the same time you must separate the notes with a rest or sleep. This is the duration of time in seconds before the next note is played. *Note a zero must precede the decimal if sleep is less than a second or you will get an error.

The next 3 notes will be played as a chord twice with a sleep in between each chord:

Go ahead and press the 'Run ►' with your speakers on to hear your song so far!

Step 4: Second Verse, Same As the First!

The accompaniment on this piece repeats itself again and again. With Sonic Pi you can easily wrap the code you want repeated in a loop with the key words do and end:


Be careful though, using the word loop creates an infinite loop and the song will repeat until you press the 'Stop ■' button. To limit the number of times the loop runs, simply type the number followed by .times:
